Cassie Jackman
Gets Local Support


Ladies World Squash star, Cassie Jackman MBE, has lived in Norfolk all her life. Ranked number one in the world until forced to miss the recent Brunei Open through injury, and recently awarded an MBE, she could, perhaps, expect wide support from the region's businesses.

However, until recently, this has been limited to memberships of the gym and sports clubs where she trains and plays.

Norfolk Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers, Martin & Acock welcomed the opportunity to help Cassie fund her campaign to regain her Number One spot. Cassie travels to tournaments all over the world and has to fund the bulk of her costs from her tournament winnings.

Chris Dugdale, partner in Martin & Acock, said “We are delighted to be able to offer a sponsorship package to Cassie. She’s a real local hero, and we’re proud to be associated with someone from Norfolk who has consistently achieved the highest possible honours in her sport.”

Martin & Acock have agreed a sponsorship deal with Cassie for the coming year, and are confident that their association with the sports star will bring a range of benefits. “We aim to raise the profiles of both Martin & Acock and Cassie,” said Martin & Acock Marketing Manager, Brenda Gostling. “She’s a great ambassador for the sport and invests a great deal of her time in helping Norfolk’s junior squash players. We’re delighted to be working with her.”

In return, Cassie is more than happy to wear Martin & Acock’s logo. “This deal will make a big difference to me, and I’m looking forward to getting involved in Martin & Acock’s events programme over the coming months.”

Martin & Acock partners, Chris Dugdale and Alistair Fish, joined Cassie to announce the sponsorship at Barnham Broom Golf and Country Club, where Cassie regularly trains and plays. Cassie will take the opportunity to wear the Martin & Acock logo for the first time in competition during September both at the Bahrain Classic and the World Team Championships in Amsterdam.
